Clafouti tart

This dough is called paté sablé, because it is “sandy”—crumbly and almost slightly gritty. You can buy almond powder, but you can also make it: Crush ½ cup slivered almonds (put them in a heavy plastic bag and hit them repeatedly with a pot or rolling pin), then grind them with 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar in a food processor, making sure to stop the grinding before the mixture becomes oily.
